What You Missed Last Night: Shatner recites the
Twitter poetry of Levi Johnston

William Shatner has appeared on The Tonight Show to give his typically awesome take on the Twitter messages that Sarah Palin posted to her account when she was Governor of Alaska. Last night he appeared again to recite the Twitter "poetry" of her arch-rival Levi Johnston.

Danny Boyle's Next Project Will Climb to 127
Hours

After the slums of Mumbai, where will Danny Boyle go next? To the mountains: the Oscar recipient for Best Director for Slumdog Millionaire has signed on for his next project, 127 Hours. The film centers on the real-life plight of climber Aron Ralston, who got pinned under a boulder during an excursion in 2003 and saved himself by cutting off his own arm with a dull knife.

The title undoubtedly refers to the length of Ralston's ordeal, which could be boring or just stressful in the hands of someone else, but Boyle is known for his ability to tackle harrowing material (see: Trainspotting and 28 Days Later). I already can't wait to see this because of Boyle and the story itself; it reminds me of Into the Wild - that is, if things had ended differently for Christopher McCandless.

Big plans, big stars set for NBC's Thanksgiving
Day Parade

Well, we know that the singers from Glee were not welcomed into the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade thanks to NBC's territorial attitude. Still, that doesn't mean we won't be watching on Turkey Day. NBC, in fact, will feature one of their own prominently that morning -- 30 Rock's Jane Krakowski will be singing an original song on a float.

It will not be a typical Jenna floppola, either. It's a song being written by the Emmy nominated team of Wesley Whatley and William Schermerhorn. And in case you don't know, Jane's a Tony-winning star who is not only hilarious as Jenna, but a really fine singer/dancer/actress.

That's not all. Alan Cumming is also set to perform in the parade, and it sounds like a doozy, too. He'll sing the Sinatra classic, "That's Life" on the M&M float. What the song, Cumming and Sinatra have to do with M&M candies is anyone's guess.

V - Pilot, S01E01

The show began with ominous questions - where were you when JFK was murdered? on 9/11? where were you this morning? For those of you who read my Mad Men posting, you know that I consider the first two questions very important. Anyone and everyone alive at that time remembers exactly where they were when they heard the news. And so too would we all if one morning 29 alien space ships earthquaked their way above the capital cities of the world (3 of which were in the states).I would hope, though, that we'd respond better to the earthquaking. You know, stand in doorways and such, rather than under falling statues of Jesus.
And so aliens, who bare a strong resemblance to mankind, arrive on Earth to be our friends, and our saviors. The Visitors, or Vs, immediately begin recruiting young men and women from Earth to learn about their culture and help spread the word around the community. How many Vs are bothering to learn of Earth's culture is not mentioned.It is not even asked. Some very important questions, in fact, are not being asked. For instance - what exactly do they want from us, water and minerals? Which ones and in what quantity? And do we really want to allow them to have an outpost in every major city of the world, even if they refer to it as a health care provider?
Chad Decker (Scott Wolf) is a reporter who should be asking these questions, and wants to, but when threatened by Anna (Morena Baccarin), the head of the Visitors, he simply does what she wants - he refrains from asking questions that would paint the Vs in a negative light. She had requested that he conduct the interview when, at an early press conference, he had commented on the attractiveness of Anna and her people rather than asking some of the difficult questions the other reporters were pestering her with. And while that question might seem superficial, he is quite right to ask it.
We learn from the story lines of Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell), an FBI agent, and Father Jack Landry (Joel Gretsch), a Catholic priest, that the Vs are not what they appear. Erica follows some leads on a terrorist organization with her partner Dale (the delightful Alan Tudyk*) which leads her to a meeting Father Jack was instructed to go to with photos by a man who died in his church...apparently killed by the Vs. There Georgie (David Richmond-Peck) informs them of the Vs true identity. They are a reptilian race, who has cloned human skin to disguise themselves. And they have been here for some time, infiltrating the governments, etc, and they are the cause of our most recent wars and economic crises.
Perhaps this would have seemed over the top, but Erica saw the photos Father Jack brought - men who's identity she could not determine, but whom she believed to be part of a terrorist cell. A V terrorist cell.And then all hell broke loose when a group of animalistic V attacked the group, killing all but Erica, Father Jack, Georgie and Georgie's friend, Ryan Nichols (Morris Chestnut). In the skirmish, Erica was attacked by Dale. Turns out, he was one of them, and when she bashes him on the face, his reptilian skin is revealed. Ryan also turns out to be a V, but he is a deserter, siding with the humans.
And so, the battle begins. Can the few humans who know the truth fight against the increasing devotion to the V that so many others feel? Well, considering the numbers that watched the premiere, I am not the only person curious to find out.

America's Next Top Model Quiz: "Dive Deeper"

I don't know about you, but I'm sort of a fan girl for Marisa Miller thanks to the heyday of Victoria's Secret, so I was psyched to see her fill in as guest judge on this week's America's Next Top Model. This episode was all about the water - cliff diving, scuba diving - and some of the girls freaked. Who was able to overcome her fear and move on, and who choked? Test yourself to see if you remember all the details!

And don't forget that you can sound off about this week's episode in the America's Next Top Model group in the BuzzSugar Community!

DWTS Week Seven Competition Night!

have to confess I actually had a dream that involved Dancing With the Stars this week, so I am grateful that after this week?s double elimination we will be down to only five contestants; which makes next week?s show effectively the quarterfinals. The amount of hip ruffles, superfluous montages, and Bergeron quips I have had to ingest in the last two months rivals Homer Simpson?s experience in Donut Hell. What are you dreaming about?

Coming next week: Martha on Rachael, Rachael on
Martha

This is either great news if you like Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray or a warning if you don't like them, but it's interesting news nonetheless: Martha is going to do Rachael Ray's show and then the very next day Rachael will be on Martha's* show.

Yup, Martha will appear on Rachael's show on November 12 to show Rachael how to make a Thanksgiving centerpiece, and then on November 13 Rachael will appear on Martha's show and Martha will teach her how to make a Thanksgiving dessert. Notice that on both shows it's Martha who will be doing the teaching?
